Broken Brights

Broken Brights

• Shrink-wrapped

<i>Broken Brights</i> marks a departure for Stone, and not just from recording with his long-term musical co-conspirator Julia. The album, produced by Angus, is also proof that he can deftly shift between genres without compromising his signature sound. While title track "Broken Brights" is a return-to-form for Stone it's a nostalgic, dreamy tribute to our youth "Bird On the Buffalo" is a livelier composition, incorporating distorted guitar riffs, which also make an appearance in the notably rockier "It Was Blue."
